P.37 An Assessment of Potential Sources of Error that May Arise in the Measurement of Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity

Objectives: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) approximates aortic stiffness and is a predictor of cardiovascular events. Despite the literature highlighting the clinical relevance of cfPWV, there is minimal integration of this parameter in clinical assessments. An underlying reason may ste...
